you can see president obama, secreta secreta secretary sebelius crossing her fingers. i'm sure the white house isn't laughing. >> they're in a holding patter. no one expected the website to be fixed in the next couple days. nofr 30th seems like a conservative estimate, and all we're seeing now is more website problems and more problems with the actual policy. as the conversation switches to the policy away from the website that is more dangerous and there is nothing they can say to refute that. people can't log on and see the payments they will be making, and they just have to deal with criticism. >>> what about the promise? >> they feel like that was a risk they had to take at the time. it has servely come back to haunt them and you hear them say ', reporters you should be providing more contacts. any time you blame reporters you're going down a bad road. >> secretary sebelius said that with all of the testing problems they had to go on october 31st because that's what the law mandates. >> an ideal world there would have been more testing. we just didn't have the time

the gop's larger leadership vacuum and the civil war for the soul of a party still reeling from last year's thrashing. simply put, the party lacks a single unifying figure who appeals to every wing of the party let alone matches the star power of the clinton/obama tandem. joining me now is former congressman tom davis. thanks for being with us. does the gop really have just one or two big name closers? >> we have a the lot of cloers appealing to different wings of the party and i think most of them have come in at one time or another for our candidate. >> but they're mentioning the clinton/tandem coming out to help mcauliffe. >> it's hard to beat a president andest president and secretary of state in terms of bringing star power out. elections aren't won on who you bring out at the end. they attract kouds. but the bigger problem is the fight in virginia is the same fight we're seeing nationally over what's the heart and soul of the republican party. and in this case they're appealing to the party base and not independents in the closing days trying to drive up turnout. >> "new york times" w
